From the illustrator of Bob Dylan's If Not for You comes a wildly cute, encouraging picture book about a lovable lion who learns to be brave and that you're never too small to make a difference.
Lions are BIG and they're BRAVE, we all know that.
But not Little Lion: he's a fraidy-cat!
He's afraid of his shadow and noises at night,
even sounds in the day will give him a fright.

Little Lion and his friend Bird often hide in the woods, watching the Big Lions play from afar. "Someday we'll be big, with no fears at all," he says, hoping that he'll outgrow his small stature and finally have courage. But when his feathered friend gets into a scary situation and the other lions are just too big to help, Little Lion will have to face his fears and discover that maybe he's a little bit courageous after all!

      A young lion must find bravery within to help a friend. A pint-sized cub sees other lions roaring and chasing, but those actions are much too intimidating for him. Even his moppy little tail is frightening when it accidentally bops him on the back. Little Lion shares his deepest wish with his friend Bird (who's fairly diminutive herself): "Someday we'll be big, / with no fears at all." But when Bird finds herself at the top of a tree, unable to jump down and unsure how to fly, she cries out in fright. The bigger lions rush to help, but they are much too large to climb the tree. Little Lion gathers his courage and springs into action. "Bird looks at her friend, / her eyes open wide. / 'You've found your BRAVE-- / it was right there inside.' " Inspired by Little Lion, Bird does something quite brave--she flies! Walker's jaunty, gentle rhymes convey both Little Lion's timid nature and his triumphant growth. Soft pencil and acrylic illustrations, relying heavily on muted greens, browns, and oranges, create a cozy environment perfect for this roly-poly lion to finally unleash his roar. (This book was reviewed digitally.) Welcome affirmation that tiny cubs (and humans) can do mighty things. (Picture book. 3-6)
